Alice stayed in Chen Xiansong's house, and she worked with Bai Min every day, and she was so happy. Chen Xiansong said several times that she was a guest, she didn't have to work so hard, just lived, but Alice said: "Eat and drink for nothing here with you, of course I have to help you work, otherwise I don't feel at ease." ”

Chen Xiansong had to be left to her. After Alice moved in, there was a lot more anger here, usually Chen Xiansong likes to sleep, but Bai Min doesn't talk much, the building has always been quiet, but now there is a squeaky girl, and it is lively all of a sudden. Alice seems to be a natural pistachio, and she always smiles happily, at least Chen Xiansong has never seen her troubled.

In the morning, she and Bai Min prepared breakfast for Chen Xiansong together, wiped the table, and mopped the floor, and in the afternoon, she watched Bai Min 'abuse' the six guards and Campbell, and she yelled and applauded on the side. Gradually, the people became acquainted with her, and they all thought that she was Chen Xiansong's second woman, and she retorted again and again: "Although His Excellency Chen Xiansong is a good person, he is not the type I like......"

It's just that no one believes.

After some time, the roads between Greystone Village and Black Earth City were repaired, and Udir sent a special three-horse cart over, the whole body was silver-white painted, and the two sides were gold clover coats of arms, which was also a manifestation of the association's recognition of Chen Xiansong, after having the coat of arms, he had the legal minimum nobility, and all countries would recognize the rights he should have.

Unconsciously, the canal on the mountain was repaired, and the canal in the wasteland was also opened according to Bai Min's drawings. Chen Xiansong stood on the high ground, looking at the square-shaped wasteland below that was divided into squares by vertical and horizontal channels that had not yet been connected to water, and he looked like an adult: "Yes, there is already a bit of farmland." ”

Ryan stood beside him and said with some sorrow: "Your Excellency, there are still many stones in the field, which are not suitable for farming, it will take a lot of time to clean them, and we do not have enough manpower. In addition, your land is too big, 100 acres, and we only have more than 40 farmers, so we can't keep busy. In addition, it is also necessary to plant fruit trees in the mountains. ”

"If this wasteland is soaked in water for three days and turned into paddy fields, will it be much easier to clear the stones from the fields?"

"Of course it will." Ryan: "But it takes a long time to water all this large area of land, and again, we don't have enough manpower. ”

"What do you think I built those two waterwheels for?" Chen Xiansong laughed: "It's time to let those two water wheels work." ”

Ryan shook his head in disunderstanding. Chen Xiansong said: "Come with me, you will know the Tao in a while." ”

It seemed that the lords of Zhilu Dao were going to do a 'big thing', and almost all the lords put down their work and followed behind Chen Xiansong, they had long wondered what the two unique-looking metal wheels of Lu Dao were doing.

In the midst of the 'great attention', Chen Xiansong successively pulled the handles of two water wheels. The water wheel turns, and the drum is high, and the water is poured into the canal that has been built. Under the sun, the clear water slowly moves through the channel, and the children cheer and chase the source of the water at the front.

Ryan watched as the water spread through the channel, branched and forked, watched the yellow-brown square fields get soaked and slowly turned gray-brown, watched the waterwheel keep pouring water into the canal, and even more at the people next to and around him, who were speechless in amazement.

"This ...... This. On the higher slope of Greystone Village, the second uncle looked at the gray-brown land, which was slowly eroding the yellow-brown color around him, and his hand on crutches trembled more and more: "This is ...... What is it? ”

"I don't know what to do." Aslan's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy or sorrow: "But I now know what the purpose of those two round things is...... Originally, we should have been able to use that thing. ”

"I was wrong...... I was wrong. The second uncle muttered and walked back to the village, as if he were a stiff puppet.

Originally, the leaders were still suspicious of Chen Xiansong and Bai Min's 'ecological agriculture circle', after all, the two of them were too young. But the operation of the two-wheeled water wheel made all their doubts and uneasiness disappear cleanly. By the next day, a hundred acres of wasteland had now become paddy fields, and because the land had been soaked in mud, the people had simply cleared the gravel from the soil - the paddy fields were ready for use, but now was not the time to cultivate. ,

Two days later, two large digesters were dug at the foot of the mountain. Chen Xiansong asked people to throw all the fallen leaves, dead branches, and excrement into it, saying that it could produce fertilizer. By this time, the people were convinced of him, and of course carried out his orders without question.

At this time, it is already the end of autumn. Rice harvesting begins in Greystone Village. In the evening, a meeting of the 'clan elders' was held in the church. Aslan, who had been busy all day, sat on the main seat, a few days ago, the second uncle put all the power in his hands, and now, he is the real village chief of Graystone Village.

"Winter is coming, but we don't have enough food." Aslan looked at the old people around him and said slowly, "So I plan to take people out of the city, do a mission, and try to get as much food as possible." However, I have heard that there has been a skirmish between the Kingdom of Uva and the Tatechibana Thorns, and with the despicable behavior of the Tachibana Thorn army, they will definitely come to this vicinity to plunder the war materials, and I fear that they will come to the door before we leave for us to leave. ”

"Then why don't you go out of the road?" An old man or an old man with a somewhat confused brain.

Aslan shook his head: "I said that the food in the village is not enough to survive the winter. ”

"Since you've convened this meeting, you must have ...... Ahem...... Way. "The second uncle's health is getting worse and worse.

"I have two ideas. The first is the most convenient, our whole village apologizes to His Excellency Chen Xiansong, asks for his forgiveness, and asks him to give us a job. Right now, he's short on manpower. ”

"It's okay for us to apologize, but will he forgive us?" An old man asked.

Aslan shook his head: "I'm not sure. But His Excellency Chen Xiansong is a good person, and there is hope. ”

There was silence in the room, the cool autumn breeze blowing the flames of the oil lamps from side to side, and the shadows on the walls swaying.

The second uncle broke the silence: "Ahem...... What about the second one. ”

"I only took twenty men out of the village, and the rest stayed in the village." Aslan said slowly: "With our good rejection of horses, the Tachibana Thorn Cavalry scouts of the squad should not be able to enter the village, and with His Excellency Chen Xiansong next to us, he will not sit idly by, plus Ms. Bai Min and his six guards, it is enough to repel a scout squadron of about 100 people." It's just that in this way, we shouldn't get a lot of money when we go out on missions, and if we want to survive the winter, we still have to save. ”

"Adults can go hungry, but children can't afford to go hungry." An old man said, "But if you want to stop the raiding cavalry of Tachibana, you can't let the adults go hungry and fight." ”

Aslan said: "I prefer the first method, what do you elders think. ”

No one spoke, there was silence. The second uncle raised his hand and put it down.

"Then use the second method, and tomorrow I will take people to the city to find a suitable task." Seeing that no one responded, Aslan's expression was quite disappointed: "Besides, the cavalry team of Tachibana Thorn will not necessarily come to trouble our village, and if it drags on, there will not be enough time." ”

"Go ahead." The second uncle suddenly spoke: "We can't rely too much on others...... Cough...... Don't worry, if the cavalry of the Tachibana Thorn really comes, I won't be rare with this old skin, and I will definitely rescue His Excellency Chen Xiansong. ”

"Things in the village are going to bother the second uncle." Aslan stood up: "It's late at night, let's all go home and sleep." ”
